In order to show the power of its GM204 Maxwell GPU, Nvidia has hosted a tech demo back in September where it unveiled its new Maxwell 2.0 as well as VXGI, Voxel Global Illumination technology as a part of the Apollo 11 tech demo, a recreation of the lunar landing from 1969.

As of today, that same demo is now available for download and can be used with GM204 Maxwell 2.0 based Geforce GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards. In case you missed it back in September, the Nvidia Apollo 11 tech demo allows you to recreate the 1969 lunar landing and play around with camera exposure, sun position, Neil Armstrong and pretty much anything else on the scene and actually uses Voxel Global Illumination in order to debunk some of the conspiracy theories about the lunar landing.

Voxel Global Illumination needs a lot of processing power so it can only be run on Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 and GTX 970, with latter having trouble on some scenes, depending on the view.

In case you are running any of those two graphics cards and want to try the Apollo 11 tech demo, you can find it via link below.
